To learn more about assault charges in Arizona, the definition and penalties are outlined in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.azleg.state.az.us\/ars\/13\/01203.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">A.R.S. 13-1203<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Aggravated assault occurs when significant injury is caused\u00a0or a deadly weapon or other object is used during the assault.<\/p>\n<h4>Aggravated assault also occurs when:<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>assault causes physical disfigurement<\/li>\n<li>an assault victim is bound or restrained<\/li>\n<li>an adult assaults a minor 15 years or younger<\/li>\n<li>one enters a private home to commit assault<\/li>\n<li>a police officer, firefighter or other officers are assaulted<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>To review all the definitions of aggravated assault, view <a href=\"http:\/\/www.azleg.state.az.us\/ars\/13\/01204.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">A.R.S. 13-1204<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>What Punishments Can You Expect?<\/h3>\n<p>Because assault and aggravated assault cover such a wide range of circumstances, the penalties you can expect depend on your specific case.<\/p>\n<p>In general, you can expect misdemeanor assault charges to include anything from a maximum of 30 days to four months in jail. Aggravated assault charges can lead to years of imprisonment, especially for the more severe cases of assault.<\/p>\n<p>Discussing your case with an attorney is the best way to find out which penalties you&#8217;ll likely face.<\/p>\n<h4>Your penalties will also be determined by:<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>your criminal background<\/li>\n<li>details relating to the victim(s)<\/li>\n<li>the severity of the assault<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>You can expect to face the following penalties with any assault case in Arizona:<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>time in jail or prison (days, months or years)<\/li>\n<li>court-ordered fines and fees<\/li>\n<li>restitution for victims<\/li>\n<li>probation, community service<\/li>\n<li>other penalties as decided by the court<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Can You Be Charged with a Felony for Assault in Arizona?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes, an aggravated assault conviction can leave you with a felony record, making it difficult to obtain employment, housing and other everyday necessities. A simple assault charge is typically charged as a misdemeanor, but may be upgraded to a felony if you are a &#8220;repeat offender&#8221; with multiple prior assault or aggravated assault charges. The negative effects of having a felony record cannot be overstated.<\/p>\n<h3>How We Can Help You<\/h3>\n<p>The defense attorneys at JacksonWhite are extremely familiar with all types of assault cases in Arizona.
